Synopsis "The Feminine Occult "

Though often overlooked in the history of western esotericism, women made a strong showing during the nineteenth century occult revival. Notable women such as Madame Blavatsky and Annie Besant certainly stand out, even to this day, as vanguards. This collection is intended not only to showcase some of their writing but demonstrate that women's involvement in occult publishing isn't something new. A collection of 18 essays by women writers on the Subjects of Spirituality, Mysticism, Magic, Witchcraft, the Kabbalah, Rosicrucian and Hermetic Philosophy, Alchemy, Theosophy, Ancient Wisdom, Esoteric History and Related Lore.

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (Ekaterinoslav, 1831 – London, 1891) was an influential Russian writer and a central figure in modern esotericism. Co-founder of the Theosophical Society in 1875, her work combines elements of occultism, Eastern religions, philosophy, and mysticism. Her literary style, dense and symbolic, falls within the genre of esoteric and metaphysical essay, with a doctrinal focus on the nature of the soul, karma, and the spiritual evolution of humanity

Among her most recognized books are Isis Unveiled (1877), The Secret Doctrine (1888), The Voice of the Silence (1889), Practical Occultism (1890), and Letters from H. P. Blavatsky to A. P. Sinnett (published posthumously in 1925). She did not receive literary awards during her lifetime, but her legacy has been decisive in spiritual movements of the 20th century
